Puchat Lubak, the oldest resident in the Bukit Payung Orang Asli Village, gets her vaccine from a mobile vaccination centre. FMTNews

Puchat Lubak, 92, getting her vaccination from the staff of the mobile vaccination centre at the Orang Asli village.

Puchat Lubak, who claims to be more than 100 years’ old, although her identity card stated her birth year as 1929, said she agreed to receive the vaccine because she was scared of being infected with the Covid-19 virus. “She believes in traditional medicine and has been relying on herbs to keep her healthy. She finally agreed after we told her that that disease is becoming more serious,” she added.

A total of 314 Orang Asli in the village received their first dose of the Sinovac vaccine under the national Covid-19 immunisation programme in the Mara Liner PPVB. “I am used to injections and am not afraid of needles. I felt so relieved when informed by the Kelantan foundation for people with disabilities about us getting the vaccine. It is important to get the vaccination, whether you are sick or healthy. It is a preventive measure,” said the government retiree.
